East Buchanan Makes Return to Sectionals

The Bulldogs are preparing for a date with West Platte in Class 2 Sectionals after capturing their first district title since 2006.

(GOWER, Mo.) The East Buchanan boys basketball team returned to the practice floor Monday after capturing their first district championship since 2006 on Saturday. As the top seed in Class 2 District 16, the Bulldogs topped Gallatin 41-37 to claim the prize.

Even with six seniors and above average length, East Buchanan has their work cut out for them in the Class 2 Sectionals with one-loss West Platte looming. The Blue Jays needed a block as time expired to pull out a one-point victory over Mid-Buchanan in the Class 2 District 15 final.

The Bulldogs (21-7) lost by 13 points in Weston on Feb. 7th but have won all seven games since. The rematch comes Wednesday at 7:45 from Staley High School.
